Dollar store manager in critical condition after being stabbed by shoplifter, Alabama police say.
A store employee who witnessed the attack told WALA that a woman, identified as Takea Shackleford, was trying to steal bottles of dish detergent when the store manager started watching her. The employee, who did not want to be named, said that’s when Shackleford became aggressive and pulled out a knife.
“She bum-rushed her, and that’s when the lady swung the knife at her, twice, or three times,” the witness said. “She swung the knife at her three times and my manager was trying to fight back, but by that time she had already stabbed her in the neck.”As Shackleford was being escorted out of police headquarters, she admitted to WALA on camera that she was shoplifting and that she stabbed the manager. However, she claims the stabbing was in self-defense.
Mobile Police Corporal Katrina Frazier is warning retail workers about the dangers of confronting suspected shoplifters. “If you are working at a store, anywhere where you’re dealing with the general public, and they are attempting to leave that store with items, do not attempt to stop them because you do not know if they are armed with any type of weapon,” Frazier said. “And your life is more important than merchandise.”
